Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Prepare Coffee

    Using a coffee grinder, grind the Acoustic Java or Armeno coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. Measure 1 cup of ground coffee.

  2. 2

    Brew Coffee

    In a coffee maker or French press, add the ground coffee and 4 cups of hot water. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes, then strain the coffee to separate the grounds.

  3. 3

    Cool the Coffee

    Once brewed, allow the coffee to cool to room temperature. For faster cooling, you can place it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Assembling the Beverage

  1. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    In a tall glass, add 2 cups of ice cubes to fill the glass halfway.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the cooled coffee over the ice cubes until the glass is about 2/3 full.

  3. 6

    Add Milk

    Add 1 cup of milk or milk alternative to the coffee. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 7

    Sweeten and Flavor (Optional)

    If desired, add 2 tablespoons of sweetener and 1 tablespoon of flavoring syrup (such as vanilla or caramel) to taste. Stir until fully combined.
